You Get a Card.. And YOU get a Card... EVERYbody Get a CARD!

This year I decided to do my Christmas cards on Shutterfly.com.
I scrolled down the page, about halfway down I had set aside 6 designs that I really liked. That's when I knew I was in trouble. My list this year is short, I am not sending to Jimmy's boss, the guy who owns the deli, or girlfriends who Jimmy's friends will probably break up with before the cards even arrive. In fact this year my list of close friends and family tops out at 40. But with this many different card options, I'll be sending a different adorable card to every person on my list!

There are all types of cards!
Some that are classic:
I really like the bright colors they used this year in lieu of the red and green that dominates everything else.









They have ones that feature you/your adorable kids really big;
Or not so big if you aren't cute or have no kids
(notice that I am not in any of these)


If you forget to order them in time,
no fear, send out Thank You cards with your pictures on them. Who doesn't love a picture of an over enthusiastic three year old ripping paper off a box like it contains Curious George himself.

And if your list is even shorter than mine they have priced their holiday gifts to make them super affordable as well as cute! Every year I make a calendar for our family so we can look back and remember just what we were doing a year ago or how little the kids were 'just one year ago'. They have different designs this year, more childlike and like the cards, full of bright colors and great designs.

Oh heck forget the 40 people I love the most, this year I'll be sending a different card to each of my facebook friends. Nevermind that I don't know where half of them live anymore; my kids look so cute on these cards I need to brag to everyone I know!

I agree. I want one of each of them. And I want to use your kids pictures on my cards to send to all of my facebook friends. And they are so cute, I am going to start searching for facebook friends and letting Facebook suggest people I might want to be friends with, cause those kids are just too cute.

Can I trade in my cards like box-tops for a hug from those beautiful kids?
